Maryal Of photography.

1t is a curious fact, perhaps not known
10 the general reader, that the exposure
of a Photographic plate makes no ap-
preciablc change in its appearance. 1t
IS creamy white, scmi-tlansparent piece
Of glass when it goes into the camera.
1t presents precisely the same appearance
after the sun has stamped the picture
upon it. The most powerful microscope
would not detect any change. The
most expert photographer in the world
would be unable to decide whether or no
plate has been exposed.
Yet the picture is there. 1t only re-
quires development" to bring it out.
And that is what this clark room" is for.
The least ray of natural light would
spoil the plate. But light strained
throu I'll ruby Or ellow-colorcd screens
of translucent paper Or glass is deprived
of those rays which are so essential and
at the same time so fatal to Photographic
'uccess.
The operator places his plate in one OF
Inc developing pans" pours over it a
certain combination Of chemicals. and,
10. a marvellous metamorplosis begins.
The white surface darkcns, and as the
chemical continues its action, the pic
turc grows on the plate before his eyes,
until the scene or object on which the
lens was turned is as accurately repro
duccd as though caught and held in a
magic mirror. - Boston Transcript.

The COlOrS of Canaries,

With regard to tho yellow color of
the canary bird and Its testimony to Mr..
Darwn's theory it is said that, after do
mestication in Belgium, Germany, and
England, "a point with which tempera-
ture or climate may have had something
10 do,) the birds threw up on the
feathers small patches Of yellow Of lighter
color, and by carefully matching those
birds that had the largest number of
these patches the breeders at length, and
after a considerable pcrio /, succeeded in
obtaining bright and unif orm yellow
color more closely resembling what are
called the ''clear" birds of today But
the application of the phrase, "canary
color" to indicate special shade of yell
low, though general, is not justified by
the facts. Canaries of pure breed are to
/ be found of many colors. Whole breeds
arc green; and, by feeding on pepper
anl other seeds, canarics have been pro-
| drc,d of cinnamon and coffee color, and
even OF red and, in the Lizard variety,
the bird, though yellow in the crown,
is elsewhere shalel and spangled in the
most love'y manner All the Year
| Round.

Insomnia.


On retiring for the night we are apt to
carry our business with us, or we have
some pet theory to further develop; it is
wrong to permit any subject to take
possession of us at such time. Yet the
surroundings arc most favorable to men
tai activity. 1t becomes easy to think;
it Is real pleasure. 1t is only to begin
q train of ideas, or to find ourselves
urged on as if by some unseen stimulus,
There is an unaccountab!e vigor with
our mental powers, not often present
during the day. By aud by we begin to
realize that this ought not to be encour-
aged; so we desire sleep, but sleep is
farthest from us. What is the remcdy2
have often risen and taken a bit Of
plain food, then fixed my attention on
some other subject, and always with
good results. But this remedy l feel is
not proper one; it is only directing
the determination of blood from one sci
of organs to another; the whole body
wants quiet rest.
Thus far my best means for relief is tc
absolutely pin my mind down to some
single trivial object, as view of running
water, or counting half dozen figures,
over and over, till all is forgotten.-

Eislns Ont of the MalCr.

There are severa. Spcc;e' OF tish WHICH
arc much more at home out OF their
natural element than any species oil the
human race are in water. The climbing
perch is remarkable example found III
Asia. This singular creature appears
much like other perch, but is endowed
with an extraordinary power OF leaving
falling streams, climbing the banks, and
proceeding over dry land In quest OF
better filed water courses. Hundreds
of them have been seen at a distance OF
fifty or sixty yards from pool just
abandoned, and travelling, though the
ground was so rough that the distance
must have required sufficient muscular
cxcrtion to take them half mile over
level ground. Some writers even assert
that this fish is capable of climbing the
rough stems of palm-trees. The fisher
men of the Gangcs, who subsist largely
on climbing perch, are accustomed to
keep them in dry northern pans five
or six days after catching, and they live
this strange life without discomfort.

Running a Mile Oh the Ties.

'Talking about peculiar railway ac-
cidents," said freight conductor on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, 'let
me tell you of queer one We had few
weeks ago up near Lanark. 1t was just
about three miles cast of that station that
our caboose jumped the track and began
humping on the ties. We had long
train ahead, and were just going into the
valley, running at lively rate, and it
took a long time to stop the train. My
brakeman got scared the first thing and
jumped, while l went ahead and began
setting brakes, AMI trying to attract the
attention of the engineer and of the head
brakeman, who was in the engine cab.
We had several passengers in the Ca
boosc, one a man with little boy, and
they were were afraid to jump. The
caboose bumped and ratified along on the
ties fully a mile. In going that dis
tancc we passed over one high embank-
ment and across one short bridge. The
caboose clung to the ties all the way,
though sometimes, as we afterward saw,
the wheels were within an inch of the
end of the secpcrs on one side Or the
other, and thereby saved the lives of the
passengers. The man who had the little
boy with him was almost in faint when
we finally brought the train to stand
still, and no wonder, for it must have
been a frightful experience Chicago

The Giant Birds of New Zealand.

The discovery Of the Dno.nis by the
nlustrlous zooogist, Richard Owen, is
famous as one of the most notable fcats
in the history OF science. From Il single
imperfect bone, fcmur broken at both
ends, h, dcduccd the fact that an enor-
nous bird of the Struthjou' order, but
far exceeding the ostrich in size, former
" inhabited New Z;aland. This dis
covcry, published IN 1899, aroused
much interest, and led to further in
ouiry. Four years later Owen was able
to show, from the comparison OF many
fragments of skeletons which had
reached him, that there had been at
least six species of these gigantic birds.
With additional materials, in 1850, he
had increased the number Of species to
eleven, classed in three genera, and
varying in size from kind 10 larger
than the great bustard Cor about hve
feet high) to oae-the Dinornis gigan-
tus-at least ten feet in height. Still
later researches have shown that even
this stature was in some instances sur
passed. and that birds must have ex-
listed in New Zealand whose height
attained fourteen feet, or twic, that OF
the largest ostrich. Popular Science

The Cock on the Steeplr.

Why should cocks figure on the tops
of steeplcsl Christians connect the
custom with the rcproach the cock once
conveyed to St. Peter. But the cock used
to be placed on the tops of sacred trees
long before it was transferred to church
steeples, and in North Germany it still
stands upon the may-poles. 1t was
partly watchman and partly weather
prophet, and by its Growing it could
dispcrse evil spirits and all approaching
calamities. Its life was sacred in India
and Persia, and Cicero speaks of tho an
clients regarding the killing of COG k
as crime equal in blackness to the
suffocation of father. Our weather
cocks are doubtless the surv val of these
old ideas. s.-[Christian at Work.

COnvuls!ons i'll Children.

Commissions are very alarming to per-
sons who arc not accustomed to them.
They are rarely fatal, and with an adult
the principal thing to be done is to
prevent the sufferer from hurting him
self. Any smooth object can be put
between the teeth to avoid the tongue
being bitten. The handle Of tooth
brush or OF spoon, paper-knife, or
anything of like nature that is at
hand. The clothes should be un-
fastened, particularly any bands conhn'
ing the waist, and the sufferer laid
down. If the hands arc thrown about
they should be held. When the fit is
over the person must be put to bed
and kept quiet for time. Babies
sometimes have convulsions when teeth
ing or from some arrangement of the
digestion. If the fit lasts for more than
moment the child should be undressed,
wrapped in blanket and put in q
warm bath to relax the muscles, the
head being covered with cloth wrune
out of water. The doctor will lance
the swollen gums or prescribe course
Of diet which will prevent recurrence
of the attack. 1t is generally not a:
alarming as it seems to the mother, but a
physician should be consulted to dis
cover and, if possible, remove the cause.

The DangerOu, Flat Wheel.

As train was pulling out Of the
West Side Union Station in Chicago a
passenger sat still moment as if listen
ing to something and then rose from his
seat, picked up his luggage, and asked
his travelling companion to go with him
into the first car ahead.
''But VIC have just got comfortably
seated here" replied the other; "why
should we make q changel Car too hot
for youl"
''No, the temperature is all right"
"Too cold, mcbbe3"
''No, it's not too cold"
'Then what is the matter7 Why
should VIC go into the front carl'
"Well, I'll tell you. You know l
used to be railroad man, conductor,
and, of course, picked up some ideas
on the road that man gets only from
experience. As soon as tho train started
my cars told me there was fiat wheel
under this car. Don't you hear it rap
ping on the railsa Wait till the train
slows up for the first stop, and then
you'll hear it-running too fast now.
Yes, sir car wheels tlatten out and have
to be closely watched. Some imperfec-
tion or unevenness in tho iron, or some
extraordinary blow on rail or obstruc-
ton, makes an impression on the surface
of the wheel, and then every revolution
thereafter adds to the injury. A wheel
will fatten out in remarkably short
time, and on long runs of through trains
a fiat wheel is a source of danger. II
this wheel runs from here to New York,
and happens to be pretty soft wheel,
the chances are that it will arrive there
in very bad condition, after doing a:
much damage to the track as the com.
pany will get in passenger money from
all the occupants of the car. OF course,
there's not much danger; but l make i. I

wheel under it, and if you don't mine

Microscopic Po ,sib.lities.

Perhaps the most wonderful thing that
has been discovered of late is the new
glass which has just been made in
Sweden, differing from ordinary glass in
its extraordinary refractive power. Our
common glass contains only six sub
stances, while the Swedish glass consists
of fourteen, the most important elements
being phosphorus and boron, which are
not found in any other glass. The
revolution which this new refractor is
destined to make is most inconceiv-
able, if it is true, as is positively alleged,
that, while the highest power of an old
fashioned microscopic lens reveals only
the one four hundred thousandth part of
an inch, this new glass will enable us to
distinguish one two bunired and four
million seven hundrcl thousandth part
of an inch. 1t makes ones hand ache
to write these figures; and who can tell
what worlds within worlds may not be
discovered with such an instrument as
lhis' Magnified after this fashion, the
smallest animalcule will be converted
into giant, and If the same relracting
power can be applied to the telephone
we shall have the moon brought to our
very doors. Something to Read.

Its English, You Know.

In England, says correspondent,

a pitcher is a jug, and a bureau is a
chest of drawers; cane is walking
stick; an overcoat a great coat; a check
rein bearing rein. Reins are never
called lines, and a coachman is never
called the driver. Every store is shop =;
fruit store is lruitercr's; hardware
store an ironmongcrs; dry goods store
draper's or haberd asher's; drug store
a chemists, and vegetable store a
greengrocer's. Coal is invariably called
Goals; calico print, thread cotton, and a
spool reel A frock coat is never called
a Prince Albert, nor is high hat called
a stovepipe. Rare meat is always under
done, and the stubs of check books are
the counterfoils. Sleeve buttons are
cuff-links, and shirt-cuffs wristbands.
Mush is porridge. A balky horse is a
jilbing horse and to balk is to jib. A
cigar store is tobacconist's. Beets
(cooked) are beet root; the german
dance is always called cotillion. A
stem windcr is a keylcss watch, and beer

PRICE THREE CENTS.
A Farmer Saved BY q Dog.

From the town OF Castelnaudary,
France, writes q Paris correspondent,
comes a story that is literally true, yes
which reads like the invention OF sem
sational novelist. A farmer residing in
the cnvrons Of that town. and who was
known to have saved money, returned
home one evening, accompanied by his
dog, a large, powerful AMI very intclli-
gent animal. Ga reaching the house the
dog at once darted to the farmers bed
room, as if in search of something, and
dashed under the bed. A short struggle
ensucd, and the dog then emerged drag
sing the corpse of man that he had
found hidden under the bed, and whom
he had seized by the throat and instantly
stranglcd. The farmers wife recognized
the dead man as tramp to whom she had
that morning given food and drink, and
who had then, as she thought, gone on
his way. Her husband at once wentl IN
search of the police, who, on arriving,
thoroughly examined the body. Con-
cealcd in the clothes were found long
sharp knife, loaded revolver, and
whistle. The policemen then hid them
selves, and one of their number blew the
whistle. Four men obcycd the signal
and entered the house, and were i'm
mediately captured. Thanks to the dog,
the lives of the farmer and his wife had
been saved, for one of the miscreants con-
fessed that their comrade was to have
murdered them both, and that they them
selves were then to have aided in strip
ping the house of its contents and IN
carving them away.

An Amusing Mistake.

A very amusing mistake recently oc-
Cured in one of the public schools. The
reading class was up, and bright little
fellow was reading away with decided
vim. The teacher was listening with
admiration, but presently was startled
when she heard: "And he garnished his
teeth with rags" whats that2 What
did you sayp she quickly asked. The
answer came in childlike simplicity
'IIe rarnished his teeth with rags" The
teacher could not refrain from laughing
outrig when she saw how her pupil
had distorted the sentence, ''He gnashed
his teeth with rage" e."-IRichmond State.
